BEC TURBO RULES!
Ok went out in dileys Blackbird Turbo today.
Well what can i say i thought the zx12r was quick its got nothing on this.
Must be the way to got for the money spent, its so worth it, the acceleration is awesome.
Great car andrew and now the car has been corner weighted it should handle as well as going like a rocket.
You boys at the york drag day will have some serious competiton with his car,
Good to catch up with andrew and see what chucking a lot of money at the car can do 
Thanks for the spin out.
Whyat ever i do next its got to be TURBO without a doubt?????

perhaps you could get a friend to slap you if you try and go for more power as id be more than chuffed with that and it could go tits up very quickly
if you cant see what the charge temp and lambda is doing. i remember a lad with an r5 turbo making just under 200hp bought a hybrid turbo for me to
fit and then asked me to set the wastegate at 18psi which i did. within a week he popped the signal line off the compressor housing and cooked the
engine good style

have had it running 26psi on the rollers, but no good for the road unless your doing over 100mph.engine was built to hold 26psi. Im happy running how
it is, its more than enough, the idea was to build an engine to produce 360bhp and run at 2/3rds of this to maintain reliability.

A mate of mine is in a similar situation with his Busa turbo, currently running it with low boost for about 250bhp and even that is devastatingly
quick on the straights, you wouldnt know it was turbo'd either, no lag just a wall of torque.
Im still not convinced its worth the money though, he says his spending has gone into 5 figures on the engine install alone, not including the
original donor engine.

A busa is alot more to turbo, I know the car your on about and it really is good, I haven't gone as far as him on some parts of the conversion.

Took mine out for its first test run the other weekend running about 6psi and that was bloody quick compared to the standard R1 cant wait to get it
set up and running a bit more boost
I've spent just under a £1000 on it over winter and it looks very promising so far I suppose only time will tell if its reliable or no.
Perhaps there is a locost way to turbo a bec!
26psi and 350hp it must be lighting the tyres up every time you put your foot down

LocoR1 thats a very nice setup you have built there! Looks like a really good job.
What spec/type of turbo are you running?
When tuurbocharged my fireblade a few years ago it cost me £250 so you can do it on a locosters budget!

Thanks for the positive comments, I could of done it a lot cheaper its all the shiny bits that push the cost up

The turbo is from a T5 Volvo if I remember right its a TD04-15G

Dave,
How are you going to set the fueling up and have you made some arrangemnt for retarding the ignition?

I've just ordered a innovate wideband air/fuel ratio kit but fueling shouldn't be to far out with the info I've use
I've retarded it 2deg static just to be on the safe side but holeshot don't bother the just leave it standard
Once I get it set up so I'm happy with it I may invest in a rolling road session just to check it and get the all important bhp figure.

Not really sure its worthy of a completely different section TBH, you lot don't generate that many posts on a daily basis and anything you do
will be of interest to a lot of the rest of us here.
